High beams

Help me, I have a problem with my lights, when I flip on the highbeams, the right lamp goes out completely, with the left working highbeam. I replaced the 3 prong plug, still no success .

It's a problem in your dimmer switch more than likely. Just do what I did and run a wire from the left side to the right so both come on no matter what. Might not be the right way to do it but it works.

it's most likely a problem with the headlight switch itself. the dimmer switch controls the brightness of the dash lights. has nothing to do with the main headlights.

how would I repair something like that, the switch actually works the left lamp for the highbeams, why not the right, is it easy to remove the headlight switch on an 85 300zx ?
